all I can think of is Joba Chamberlain. I hope the reds don't mess up Aroldis like the Yankees have Joba.

In short spurts he is good. But the 2nd and 3rd time thru the line-up will he be? Can he even last that long again? Does he have a reliable 3rd pitch?

You've got to find out. The value of a top end starter is so much higher than a power reliever it's not even close.
